Analysis of: First Edition Staff Attorney
OVERVIEW: House Bill 38 would do the following:
• Allow up to two members of the boards of county commissioners in Rutherford and Polk counties
to be members of the Board of Trustees of Isothermal Community College.
• Require the members of the Board of Trustees of Isothermal Community College to maintain their
county of residence while serving on the board.
CURRENT LAW: G.S. 115D-12 requires each community college to have a board of trustees and sets the
requirements for the selection of the trustees. Isothermal Community College has a local modification to that
statute in S.L. 2015-243.
The Board of Trustees of Isothermal Community College is made up of 15 members, as follows:
• 7 trustees elected by the Rutherford County Commissioners.
• 3 trustees elected by the Polk County Commissioners.
• 4 trustees appointed by the Governor.
• The president of the student government or the chair of the executive board of the student body.
No more than one trustee elected by a board of county commissioners can be a county commissioner. Each
trustee, other than the student trustee, must be a resident of Isothermal Community College's administrative
area or a contiguous county.
BILL ANALYSIS: Section 1 would allow up to two members of the boards of county commissioners to be
members of the Board of Trustees, as follows:
• Up to one trustee elected by the Rutherford County Commissioners can be a Rutherford County
Commissioner.
• Up to one trustee elected by the Polk County Commissioners can be a Polk County Commissioner.
Section 2 would require that each trustee on the Board of Trustees of Isothermal Community College remain
a resident of the same county where the trustee resided at the time of the trustee's appointment throughout the
term of office on the board.
Section 3 would make this act apply only to Isothermal Community College.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This act would be effective when it becomes law and would apply to appointments to
terms beginning on or after July 1, 2021.
